8-0.9 = 7.1 ?

u need to replace in the binomial expansion -_- then ull get it the final answer.

Question 8) (iii)?

someone jst asked its part (ii) on my wall today

use substitution
let (x+3x^2) be equal to u

expand (1+u)^5 using binomial formula
in the end replace u by original bracket.

Question 8) (iii)?

use the answer to part (ii) to make it easier

Ok. I have done so and after I substitute (x + 3x^2), my answer is:

405 x^8

But the marking scheme's answer is 675 x^8. Why are they adding the above answer to the answer in part (ii)?

RoOkaYya G you explaining or I do?

wht u did?

u do .-.

 

[Awesome12]

wht u did?

(1 + u) ^5

=
1 + 5u + 10u^2 + 10 u^3 + 5u^4 + u^5


5u^4 = 5 (x + 3x^2)^4


5(81x^8)

405 x^8

405x^8 + 270x^8 kia?

 

[RoOkaYya G]

405x^8 + 270x^8 kia?

idiot thts wht he asked..tht y we add 270

 

[RoOkaYya G]

Awesome12 we add the 270 because it represents the coefficient of x^8
for expansion in part (iii) the expansion isnt complete i mean not all x^8 r included.
so u take the one from part (ii) also

This was not what he asked.

That was easily been understand by looking at solution of part ii :/

-_- he said he dint understand y they add the answer to part (ii) -_- read well

My bad .-.

Nothing. Its better I keep shut. .-.

Thanks again. BTW, I did my AS level in May/June 2014 session and scored "a". Based on what I calculated, the minimum score I got is 110. But I was just wondering what are my chances of scoring A* in A levels.

My school said if you get an A grade in As level maths, and if you maintain that A in your A level, then your A grade in A level and As level will become an overall A* so yeah you have a good chance
